This is cups 2.4.2 being used. The changelog has this for Issue #352:

The lpstat command now reports when the scheduler is not running

Testing the options gives the informative Scheduler is not running., apart from when -e or -l -e is used. The outputs are empty for those options.

@debiantriage That's because "lpstat -e" enumerates available destinations vs. listing existing queues ("lpstat -p"). Enumeration doesn't require cupsd to be running while listing queues does.

Thanks. Now all I have to do is work out why lpstat -e doesn' t give me any enumerated destinations when cups is stopped.
